Senior Members

Matt Beaudry

Actor, funny guy, Rock Star, the enigma that is Matt Beaudry. Born in Tucson, Matt has been acting since the age of twelve and hasn't looked back. Anything that involves being on stage Matt is into. You can catch him rockin' on the drums, doing improv, and entertaining all over town. So prepare yourselves for your daily dose of awesome!!!

Jon Benda

NBOJU welcomes our favorite King back to the troupe. Bio coming soon.

Cris Candelario

NBOJU welcomes Cris back to the regular lineup! Bio coming soon.

Vicki McGee

Vicki caught the acting bug in high school and went on to receive a B.F.A. in Theatre from Florida Atlantic University. She has done stage, television, film, and radio voice-overs. She loves comedy improv and has performed with the L.A. Connection, the Comedy Store, and with various groups in Tucson. By day she is a mild-mannered middle school guidance counselor, in love with her husband Bill, and lives with 2 teenagers, a horse, a burro, 4 dogs and 1 cat. She is so happy to be with Not Burned Out because she's saving a ton on therapy.

Monica Rhodes

NBOJU welcomes Monica to the lineup! Bio coming soon.

Christopher Seidman

Hailing from Orange County, California (but don't hold that against him), Chris has been a Tucson resident since Memorial Day 2004. A former Disneyland Jungle Cruise captain, Chris brings minutes of improv experience and decades of movie and television watching experience to NBOJU. Time will tell if that pedigree will serve him well.

Scott Shaver

Had an opinion last week, but is unsure if he should mention it.

Rob Sparks

He is sometimes Astro, sometimes Physicist. He is the Kitt Peak of NBOJU. He is...Rob.

Jessica Spenny

In the beginning there was the void. This was generally followed by the chaos of creation: molten rock, the formation of seas, the birth of life as we know it. During a minor hiccup in this timeline Jessica Spenny came into existance. She got an Associates in American Sign Language. She got a BFA in performance from the University of Michigan. She moved to Arizona. She got a job in customer service. She bred. She joined Not Burned Out Just Unscrewed. She wrote this bio. You read it.

Andrea Young

Andrea has been improvising since 2002, having been one of the founding members of some of Austin TX's premiere improv troupes like Girls Girls Girls Improvised Musicals and Junk Improv. The fast paced world of mathematics brought her to Tucson, and she is very happy to be performing with NBOJU.

Former Members

Mark White
Past Director

On the very first day of auditions for NBOJU, Mark found improv, and improv found Mark. It was a match made in heaven. He dove in with both hands, and both feet, head first. He took over as co-director from Dana, as well as being NBOJU's one-man sales and marketing department. He also had a pun level that was five times the legal limit.

Mark passed away on the morning of January 12, 2007 after a short battle with cancer. We miss him, but are sure he's keeping the hereafter in stitches.

Dana Cianciotto
Past Director

Involved in performing since the age of 3, Dana studied musical theater at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in NYC and has experience in film, radio, TV, producing, directing, and writing. After nearly three years of involvement with NBOJU, Dana officially turned over the reins in February of 2005 and now lives in Phoenix. Her most recent Tucson effort was directing the successful Vagina Monologues at the renovated Fox Theater in February 2006.
